Well frustrating day today, filled transmission with roughly 7 quarts. And got my wires all hooked up and such. New plugs, wires, coil, rotor. So it was really hard starting and smoked profusely while trying to start but once running it would smoke much less. It would run 30 seconds and die. It started twice. I cant figure out if its timing, valve adjustment, maybe its a blown head-gasket (the cap to the puke tank is missing which is suspicious) the carb could be dirty and not feeding enough to sustain fuel delivery? (The fuel hoses are very rotted) lastly i checked the trans fluid and it was completely dry. The trans has sat with the cover off for weeks, could it need more than 7 quarts?
